Omnibus Cafe

A horse-drawn bus from the 1890s

There is no way a horse drew this.
its a photograph.

When I read Sherlock Holmes or history books (usually Jack the Ripper books), they refer to this kind of bus, usually calling it an "omnibus." "Omnibus" meaning in Latin, the internet tells me, "for all," in other words public, not private. The word "bus" is just a clipped version of that.

The term originated in Paris, where it began as "voiture omnibus," or "carriage for all" or "public carriage." They lopped off the "voiture." In London, the term was quickly shorted to the modern word "bus," by the 1830s.

But I swear I see "omnibus" when I read a history or period book in the 1890s.

I couldn't visualize what this "omnibus" looked like. I couldn't figure out if it was short-ish like a Wild West coach or long-ish like a modern bus. So, of course, it's short-ish like a Wild West coach. Duh.

Here's one from 1895, packed top to bottom with advertising.

More details here, including "buses" packed with people and absolutely jammed with luggage.

German shepherd protects his cat buddy.

Cat sneak-attacks the German shepherd.

Dog is perfectly hidden.

Saving a cat who got stuck in the middle of a highway.

Giant ears like a fuzzy bat.

Kitten practices his pouncing.

If you ever feel like you're being watched, it's probably goats.
People keep brining their dogs to weddings for some reason.

Puppy's first howl.

Pupper's keeping his head on a swivel.

Happy puppy puts on a show for air travelers stuck in delays.

Kind of like "Raygun" the retarded Australian breakdancer except actually awesome.

Cute neighborhood watch..they look so happy..🐕🐾😍 pic.twitter.com/lPotTNKA6T

8 'Bus' may have been used in the 1830s, but 'omnibus' lasted several decades longer. On the other paw, 'busman's holiday' is late 19th Century, so clearly around by then.

18 FUN FACT

The term "coach" for a horse-drawn carriage or more recently a railway car or bus comes from the Hungarian village of Kocs, famous in the 18th and 19th centuries for the quality and craftmanship of vehicles made there.

It never ceases to amaze me that assclowns who went to journalism school think they know shit that professionals who do this shit for a living don't.

In a shocking development, the leading sponsor of terror in the world that is currently in a death rattle after having their shit completely pushed in in their home country by trying to bomb international trade in the strait bordering their shit hole country and are searching for some way to inflict pain on their enemy sent some of their precious remaining resources to a partner terrorist organization that tried to fuck up international trade by bombing the narrow strait next to their shit hole country all during the Biden administration.

I mean who could have seen this coming other than the crack journalists of MSNBC?

My sister owns a farm in Western PA. The local Amish do the actual farming though, they just lease the field from my sister, more or less. Anyway, they use horses in the fields. Really big horses. I've never seen mules.

121 A "jury of your peers" was written when most people in this country were sane, Christian and white. Nowadays, a "jury of your peers" can be loaded with freakzoids from all over the fruited plain, penis hating women, Jugdish from India and Mohammed from Bangladesh and one or two sexually disordered sodomites just for good measure and maybe a Furry.

Kinda like the bar in Star Wars.
